Khomy (Ukrainian: хоми) are cakes of boiled, mashed peas and pounded hemp seed, baked for a short time and eaten hot, recorded in Ukraine from 1860.[1]: 164[2]: 44[3] The name is written хоми in Ukrainian and хомы in the Russian spelling of the 1860 recipe.[1]: 164[2]: 44
Making khomy
Mykola Markevych's collection of Ukrainian customs, beliefs and cookery, published in Kiev in 1860, gives the recipe under the heading "khomy with hemp seed". Clean peas are boiled with salt and ground in a makitra. Hemp seed, pounded and sifted through a sieve, is mixed well into the peas, and the mass is rolled into balls like large pampushky. These are laid in a bowl and set in the oven for about ten minutes, then eaten hot.[1]: 164 Zinoviia Klynovetska's cookbook Stravy i napytky na Ukraini (Kyiv and Lviv, 1913) gives the same steps in Ukrainian.[2]: 44
Olena Savych's recipe collection Nashi stravy, compiled for the girl scouts of the Ukrainian scouting organisation Plast and printed in Bavaria in 1947, calls khomy a folk dish. In her version the peas are boiled and mashed with a little sugar and salt, fried onion and a little flour, shaped into pampushky and baked on a tray in the oven, and the hemp seed goes into what is served with them. The cakes come with a sauce or with tolokno, in Savych's usage hemp seed fried in a pan, ground in a makitra, thinned with boiled water and salted.[4]: 55–56
